Donnie Jones Might Just Set Some Records This Year

This is Donnie Jones you probably have never heard of him. Let me give you some clues. He played for LSU's title winning squad in 2003? He was drafted by the Seahawks in 04 but only played 7 games for them. He then played 2 years for the Dolphins and now is in his second season on the St. Louis Rams. He is currently leading the NFL 3 different stats. Give Up?

He is the St. Louis Rams punter of course. He's leading the league in punts, total punt yards, and punt average. He's already punted 819 yards worth. That's almost a 1/2 a mile. Donnie is well ahead of the tragic punt pace set by Andy Lee of the 49ers last year when he punted 105 times for 4968 yards. Donnie is on pace for 6552. That's over 3.5 miles. The record number for punts in a season is held by Chad Stanley in 2002 for the Texans in their first year of existance. Jones is on pace for 128 this year.

Keep it up Donnie, someone needs to get a record this year for the putrid Rams.

Bob Parsons of the Chicago Bears also had 114 punts in year.

The way the Rams are going, I think you're right...he will break the record for most punts and punt yardage in a single season.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
